Golf sayings

[slaznick]

It seems like fairly recently a number of golf sayings have come out, I don't know if they have got a particular title but it is things like:
That was an Arthur Scargill, Great Strike, poor result.

Has anyone got any others, I love 'em!

 

[bobmac]

There are loads.
The obvious ones are the Sally Gunnell(sp ch) and the sisters best friend, but I'm sure you will get alot more

 

[Smiffy]

My favourite is the "Douglas Bader"....the shot that comes up short.

Looked good in the air but didn't have the legs

 

[MVP]

theres a few i normally say during a round but they will probably get blocked by the filter one begins with s the other f and b mostly 4 letters but not always. sometimes i string them all together when im very upset

[Robobum]

For when your opponent doesnlt lose their turn on the green:

Dead Sheep - (they wil look at you for a meaning) - Still Ewe

dennis wise a nasty 5 footer

 

[Redwood]

Rio'ed (Rio Ferdinand) - Lip out

 

[USER1999]

Thing is, does anyone actually use any of these? Some are a bit offensive (the Sally Gunnel, especially when used by a 25 stone, middle aged, balding, out of breath just through walking slob, with 2 foot of nostril hair, sunburn, and knuckles that drag on the ground), and other so called sayings are just stupid. I can't think of any that are in normal use at my golf course. This sort of thing just makes golf sound a bit daft, especially to those who don't play it.

Not a fan.

Rio'ed (Rio Ferdinand) - Lip out

Is that English or Cornish? Makes no sense to me.....

Tend to agree murph. The Dennis Wise is the only one I have ever heard used for real - as to the rest; someone had time on their hands at some stage in the past

Note to self. Must not leave photos of self lying about...

 

[Atticus_Finch]

We use the Liz McColgan one(Wee skinny runner), nas we see her out running round the course often. Other than that, I've only seen the others written down and never uttered.

 

[Herbie]

Ive heard loads but the trouble is, if its a new one then the orator has to enlighten everyone after use , I tend to find those who use them with any regularity are looking for a little attention, and those who keep using old ones are a bit tedious to me, I dont react either way as its not worth it, but it is how I feel about them.

Rock Hudson = looked straight but wasn't

You do not here many being used, Sally Gunnell seems to be the most popular.

The wisecrack that I truly love, but the timing has to be spot on, is "Was that a golfswing or a fit?" Hmm, oh dear that is probaly terribly non-PC but who cares!

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Probably the most unpc I hear and apologies in advance was when someone hits it into trouble (gorse bush etc). Called a Jade Goody as no chance of recovery. Sick I know but it did bring a smirk to the faces of our group.

Just to quantify I lost my dad to lung cancer and watched him die but the last two hours I spent by his bedside were so precious to me. I know the pain and suffering the Goody family are going through and not trying to make light of their situation

The wisecrack there is funny, that kind of humour I like, its the stuff like the 'sally gunnel or rock Hudson etc that are tiresome.

 

[Canfordhacker]

I like the old one

"I can see what's wrong - you're standing too close to the ball.

Pause for effect

After you've hit it."

Cracks me up when the target hasn't heard it before.

 

[stevek1969]

An old guy i played with told me this one, i thinned a shot on our first and it stopped 3 feet form the stick , he said thats a sister in law shot he then said your right up there and you no you shouldn't be, couldn't stop laughing all day after that

 

[HomerJSimpson]

You wouldn't say that if you saw her and I wouldn't wish that on anyone (the more adult part) with my sister in law. Big old unit before she went to the US and 2 kids later she has now been super-sized.
